A minor league baseball player in southern Illinois hit a grand slam only to find the ball smashed the windshield of his own truck.

The Gateway Grizzlies of Sauget, Illinois, say Brandon Thomas hit the homer during Sunday's game against the Joliet Slammers. The 25-year-old outfielder sent the ball sailing into the parking lot, where his 2008 black Toyota Tundra was parked.
